EMERGENCY ESCAPING DEVICE FOR HIGH BUILDING BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONl. Field of the Invention This invention relates to an emergencyescaping device for high building.

2. Description of the prior arts When fires and other emergency eventsare break out in the high buildings, the peoples can not use theelevators and staircases, because the fires and smokes come up fromdownstairs when the lower fioors are in fires.

Even when the exterior staircases and escaping shooting tubes arequipped at the building, it is not enough to admit the peoples to escapesafely, since many peoples rush to escape from the limited escapingequipment, and sometimes it causes a bigger damage.

Furthermore, when the peoples escape sliding down the vertical conduits,bars, and ropes from the high building, it is often found that theydishold those equipment before arriving at the ground, since they feelthe abrasive heat at their hands and are tired to hold said equipment,whereby they receive severely sad injuries and they are often caused tobe died.

When the fire-cars having extension ladders arrives at the site, withinthe earlier time of the fire broken out, those are useful for escapingpeoples, however, when they arrive in late, those are often useless tosave peoples and sometimes the length of the ladders are not enough toreach the higher floors of the building and the absolute numbers are inshort to save many peoples.

Therefore, it is a very difficult to save peoples in the high buildingwhen the fires and other emergencies happen.

As mentioned above, saving peoples in the high building and escapingthose when the emergencies, particularly fires break out, are verydifficult as always confronting with the danger and difficulty inspiteof the long and constant study of preventing the fire, escaping, andsaving peoples.

Up to now, complete and cost-saving devices are not found yet.

Therefore, this invention intends to provide a relatively cost-savingemergency escaping for high building which admits that many peoples canescape safely.

An emergency escaping device for high building of this inventioncomprisers an integral of vertically serial protection piping frameshaving a plurality of cross plates or pipes, said frames being facedapart with the emergency exits of the building and building exteriorwall and being also used as the emergency escaping ladders; a pluralityof poles within said protection piping frames for which peoples escapesliding down, said poles being aligned in two rows in forward andbackward seeing from said protection piping frames; a plurality ofstepping plates being located at the every other emergency exit at thebuilding floors, said stepping plate being equipped with said severalpoles in the backward position therethrough spaced at a proper distancefrom the several poles in the forward position; and a plurality ofresting plates being located at protecting piping frames at the samelevel with every other floors in different from aforegoing floors havingsaid stepping plates, said resting plates being equipped with severalpoles therethrough spaced at a proper distance from the backward poles.

One object of this invention is to provide-an emergency escaping deviceto permit the peoples to escape safely without falling down to theground.

Another object of this invention is to provide an emergency escapingdevice to admit everyone to use without afraid and fear.

Still further object of this invention is to provide the emergencyescaping device to admit 'many peoples to be able to escape within ashort time.

Still further object of this invention is to provide the emergencyescaping device to admit the "peoples in physical inferiority to be ableto escape safely with help by the escorts.

Still further object of this invention 'is to provide the emergencyescaping device in order that the peoples can escape without specialoperation and training required at normal time.

Still further object of this invention is to provide the emergencyescaping device which is applicable to a skyscraper such as in floorsand the surrounding protection piping frames are usable as ladders.

Still another object of this invention is to'provide the emergencyescaping device which is easily installed with a reasonable cost.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIG. 1 is a front elevational view ofthe emergency escaping device according to this invention mounted on theexterior wall of the building.

FIG. 2 is a view showing the escaper can escape from the'buildingutilizing the emergency escaping device according to this invention, and

FIG. 3 is a partial perspective view of the building equipped with theescaping device according to thisinvention.

Now, the preferred embodiment of this invention is hereinafter describedwith reference to the accompanied drawing.

An integral of the protection piping frames 3 also usable as escapingladders is located spaced apart at a proper distance, facing with theemergency exits l l 1 from the exterior wall of the high building towhich roof said protection frames are secured at their curved upperportion. Several vertical poles 4 and 5 for sliding down are quipped intwo rows in forward and backward alignments inner the surroundingprotection piping frame 3.

A plurality of stepping plates 6 6 6 6 are securely mounted into theevery other emergency exit 1 1 1 1 of the floors at each one end at aright angle with the exterior wall, while a plurality of restingplates 77 7 7 are securely mounted on the protection piping frames therein at aright angle at the same levels of the every other emergency exit indifferent with the abovementioned floors having said stepping plates.Said stepping plates 6 6 6 6 are spaced at a proper distance from theseveral poles 4 surrounded within the protection frames 3, and throughwhich plates several poles 5 are passing from the top into the ground.Said resting plates 7 7 7 7 are equipped with several poles 4 passingtherethrough from the top into the ground which are spaced at a properdistance from said several rods 5.

Thus, in escaping sequence, as in shown in FIG. 2, assuming that one, Ain seventh floor (7F) escapes, one, A comes out the emergency exit 1then, stepps onto the stepping plate 6 thereof, catches one of thevertical 3 poles 4, and slides down onto the resting plate 6 provided onthe protection frames opposite to the emergency exit 1 then turns toopposite direction, and catches the pole 5 of the backward alignment,and then slides down onto the stepping plate 6 provided on the fifthfloor. Thereafter, same sequence is applied turning his body in oppositedirection so as to grasp the pole in two rows alternately for slidingdown onto the stepping plates and/or resting plates until he arrives atthe ground.

Said protection piping frames, said stepping and resting plates, andsaid vertical poles may be made of iron steel and equivalent strongmaterials coated with unflamable corrosion-free painting.

Furthermore, it is advisable to provide some safety cushioning mat 8including spring and similar devices on the ground inner the frame 3 sothat one receive softened shock if he discatches the pole or one fallsdown onto the mat on the ground.

As described above, one can slide down the poles 4 and/or 5 onto thestepping plates 6 with odd numbers and resting plates 7 with evennumbers one by one whereby one can pose on said plates and one can graspthe poles after certain pose and further, alternatively one can walksdown the ladders of plates or pipes provided on the surroundingprotection frames 3.

Moreover, when the lower floors were not in fire, one can enter into thebuilding from one of those emergency exits. Therefore,one can escapesafer with convenience, than those known in the art, such as poles forsliding down without stepping and resting plates onto the ground withoutadmitting a pose.

Furthermore, said two row poles 4 and 5, stepping plates 6 with oddnumbers and resting plates 7 with even numbers are surrounded by theprotection piping frames 3 thereby admitting the escaper not to falldown outer the protecting frame 3 and to be received one of the steppingand/or resting plates just below the such place where from one fallsdown, without falling down onto the ground directly. As is apparent inaforegoing, one can enjoy a very safety escaping from the high building.

In summarizing, two row poles for sliding down in forward and backwardposition, the stepping plates and the resting plates provided everyother floor to each other are surrounded by the protection piping frameswhich are also usable as ladders by providing cross plate or pipestherewith, so that one can ease his mind of fearing of being on the highplace, and one can escape at ease with proper judgement.

The poles 4 and 5 for sliding down are provided in a several numbers inorder that many peoples in the building can escape and also the olds andbabies, children, can escape safely with helps of the escorts.

Therefore, the devices "according to this invention provides manyeffects for safe escaping from the buildmg.
